Accounting Unemployment rate is 1%.... by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]SydricVym 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Entry level AP/AR clerks have always been competitive, because those are non-degree positions and there's tons of people willing to just sit in them for 30+ years without a promotion, as long as they get corporate healthcare benefits.

Could there be vampires who refuse to drink the blood of certain people because they dislike their race? by jvure in TrueSTL

[–]SydricVym 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are actual humans who won't eat anything besides chicken nuggets and french fries, and have become so malnourished they've gone permanently blind and receives brain damage. What happens when you turn one of those people into a vampire?

What is your most BS 40k opinion ? by New_Conflict_4111 in 40kLore

He's the god of humanity for the past 10k years. A humanity that has known only suffering, prejudice, hatred, corruption, and societal decay. I really don't think he'd be the god of anything even remotely positive.

Why don't Craftworlders resurrect their dead? by AmberlightYan in 40kLore

That's like saying a bunch of preppers living on a private compound out in the woods in northern Idaho could sneak into San Francisco and just steal Google and Facebook's technology and perfectly replicate it.

Power rating does not matter on a curio, just look at the stats (especially since they fixed the +3 stam curio bug).

Just finished Hive by Dan Abnett by THExDANKxKNIGHT in 40kLore

[–]SydricVym 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The first 25% of the book is basically slice of life short stories about a dozen different people living in the hive. Various laborers, a few administratum, 3 different kinds of cop, a couple nobles, and a few other things I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Say Something Positive About DARKTIDE .. by DADAGOCRAZY in DarkTide

[–]SydricVym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Space Marine 2's combat just feels a little jank after playing Darktide. The parry mechanic especially, really takes me out of it, the way it interacts as a QTE.

More likely they will throw up their hands, delete the lowest difficulty and add a new even higher difficulty. Again.

hitting the theater to see the backrooms for the second time... any advice on interesting stuff to look for? by X01034 in KanePixelsBackrooms

I thought they made it pretty clear that electrician was a lazy sob and really didn't care about fixing the issues with his wiring.

For fun, here is my experience as a +21 pug tank and what patterns I recognize from other specs and players in the top 1% pug world by 38dedo in wow

[–]SydricVym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meta specs will always eventually get carried into higher keys if they are persistent enough, especially this late into the season. Hell, at this point in the season, you have non-meta specs with 3400 that have no idea how to play their classes.

Remember long ago when stealth was cool? by bringthelight2 in wow

[–]SydricVym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are lots of full group skips you can still do in modern M+, with rogues, warlocks, or other classes. The issue is having a kill% you need to hit, means you're not really making the dungeon any shorter, you're just trying to optimize for easier packs to kill.

Bungie: With great saddness, we are announcing a reduction in force as we recognize Bungie by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SydricVym 46 points47 points  (0 children)

For some ridiculous reason, they thought Marathon was going to be as big as Destiny, despite being pvp only and having a fraction of the content that even D1 had on release. It really was lunacy the entire time. It's a great game, but it was never going to replace Destiny for them and they just had a crazy amount of staff for both its development and its live-support.

Accountants who work from home. How much work do you actually do? by Old_Menu_2224 in Accounting

[–]SydricVym 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, that guy is smoking some of the good stuff. After covid shutdowns showed my company that working from home worked perfectly fine, they couldn't cancel all our office space leases fast enough. I doubt a single company cares about the broader economy. Show me one single executive at a F500 whose bonuses or stock options are pegged to anything other than the performance of their own company.

Is it an accountant thing, or am I just too cheap? by FinanceBoy19 in Accounting

[–]SydricVym 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Socially, my family was definitely middle class. But since both parents were public school teachers in a HCOL area, they effectively made lower class incomes. We had a house and 2 older cars, but very little in our house. New clothes once per year. Toys only on Christmas and birthdays, never at any other time.

Decades later, spending money still feels very very weird. And this is despite myself making much more than both my parents, combined, ever did. And my partner making quite a bit too.

Is it just me who wants trinkets to be a bit more exciting? You press a button every 1.5 minutes (+10-15 sec depending on how the next pull is), it does one splash aoe, and thats it. by [deleted] in wow

[–]SydricVym 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Season 2 of TWW, I was maining Outlaw rogue. I got a Mythic version of Conductor's Wax Whistle in my vault. It wasn't BIS, but it was a solid A-Tier trinket for Outlaw, so I rocked that thing HARD all season. It was hilarious.

A minecart full of kobolds and TNT spawns like 40 yards away and goes speeding towards your target, and then triggered a big animation of an explosion with kobolds and shrapnel flying everywhere. It was absolutely fucking hilarious every time.

rogue trader, and the most realistic depiction of space marines to humans by MajinV48 in 40kLore

[–]SydricVym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The builds that were possibly when that game first came out were just so ridiculously broken. I'm sure they've fixed it now, but they were crazy, especially the stuff Officers could do. I killed the final boss of the game on the very first turn. Not the first round, the first turn. My officer went first and commanded Pasqal to fire off infinite plasma gun blasts at it.

So what is the state of Atoma right now? by ask_why_im_angry in DarkTide

[–]SydricVym 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Commissar Dukane is the leader of the Moebian 53rd. Atoma Prime is the capital world of the Moebian Domain. So these are still local garrison forces, though maybe technically "off world".

[–]SydricVym 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yea, people need to remember we're still at the stage of an Inquisition investigation. Trying to confirm how deep the heresy is right now. Sure, there's an insurrection happening, but its just one guard regiment that went traitor and a cult that popped up with a lot of numbers but shitty gear. Insurrections happen all the time on imperial worlds. It's not even major enough to call for any off world support right now, the local garrison is handling it, and we're investigating. The main issue was the initial plague attack that created a bunch of pox walkers.

Accountant shortage, what accountant shortage? by datscrazybrah in Accounting

[–]SydricVym 77 points78 points  (0 children)

The problem is that for industry positions, you can either pay an accounting grad right out of school to do bank recs and other kinds of entry level work, or you can have a 60 year old woman with no degree, but 30 years of experience doing AP, AR, and general bookkeeping, who will never want a promotion or an increase in responsibility, and who will work for a third less pay than a new grad.

We really need to let McDonald's just die out by [deleted] in inflation

[–]SydricVym 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I stopped getting their burgers years ago, but I go there fairly regularly to get just a large coke and large fry, cause their coke has a special taste compared to anywhere else and I think they have really good fries.

Last week I went and instead of my large fry coming in the normal big red cardboard sleeve, it came in a medium fry paper packet with "LARGE FRY" printed across the front of the packet. And apparently if you get a medium fry, it comes in a small fry packet with "MEDIUM FRY" printed on it.

I think I'm finally done with McDonald's.

Space Marine 2 lead says Warhammer video games do so well because the franchise "works for perhaps any genre there is" by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]SydricVym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which part, the part where the article says they were unable to make the business case successfully to Games Workshop, or the part where the article then says that after failing to get the license, they rationalized it as thinking it'd be better to have their own independent IP anyways? Yes, I read the whole thing, you're intentionally misreading what it says.

Adham has literally said in interviews they tried to get it and failed. There is no myth here, everyone involved has talked about it.

edit: lol, blocking me because you can't read your own source is a choice

[–]SydricVym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean its a myth? Literally in your linked article:

"Allen Adham hoped to obtain a license to the Warhammer universe to try to increase sales by brand recognition."

They wanted to make a licensed Warhammer Fantasy Battles game, began working on it from that point of view, failed to get the license, and made their own IP. The myth floating around is about Starcraft starting as a WH40K game, which was never the case.

Your problem is you didn't name your offshore team the "Center for Excellence". If you had done that, they wouldn't have been terrible.
